19 Pilato nakandika mchibao, kawika kuchanya mumsalaba hali Yesu, “Yesu Mnasaleti, Mndewa wa Wayahudi.”

21 Mtambika Mkulu nakamlonjela Pilato, “Uleche kwandika ‘Mndewa wa Wayahudi,’ Ila ‘Munhu ayu nakalonga, Heni nda Mndewa wa Wayahudi.’ ”
22 Pilato nakedichila, “Chonyandiche nyandika sigalamla hebu!”

25 Habehi na ahala howamuwambile Yesu mumsalaba, wali wemile Maliya mayake Yesu na lumbu wa mayake na Maliya mdala wa Kileopa na Maliya Madelena.
26 Yesu vyoyamuwene mayake yemile na mlanguswa wa heye yamganile lukami ahala honhu nakamlonjela, “Mamo, sambi ayo ndo mwanago.”
27 Kahi baho nakamlonjela ayula mlanguswa, “Sambi ayo ndo mayako.” Kulawa hala, mlanguswa yula kamhola mayake kuza kikala na heye kaye.
28 Yesu nakavizela kota geng'ha gamala, na leka Maandiko Matakatifu galawile kalonga, “Ndangona ng'halu.”
29 Kwali na chisaye ahala chiwele na divai izazame, wadilizila ibofyabofya, nawawopa mli nhagala ya isopolo, wamuwichila Yesu hamlomo yanwe.
30 Yesu vyoyanwele aila divai izazame, nakalonga, “Lelo imala!” Hamba kenamiza mutwi wa heye, muhe nauleka lukuli.
31 Yali zuwa lya Kiwika goya na Pasaka, na mitondo yake nayali Zuwa lya Kwesela. Wayahudi nahawaviganile ng'huli zikale mmisalaba kuli Zuwa lya Kwesela kwavila zuwa alyo lyali likulu. Ahyo nawamlanda Pilato magulu ga wanhu hewo wawambigwe gabenigwe na ng'huli zawo zusigwe.
32 Baho wamizi waluta kubena magulu ga munhu wa mwaluko na wa keli wawambigwe hamwe na Yesu.
33 Ila vyowafichile kwa Yesu, wona yabagame katali hela, ahyo hawambenile magulu.
34 Yumwe mwa awala wamizi kamhoma igoha mlubavu lwa Yesu, baho du vilawa danda na malenga.
35 Na heye yagawene ago, kangundavila ulolezi leka hemwe namwe mkunde. Na ago gondilonga ng'homya, na heye kavizela kota nayali yolonga yokomya.
36 Mbuli ayo naikoleka galawile Maandiko Matakatifu, “Kuduhu chizeje ne chimwe chowobena.”
37 Kahi Maandiko Matakatifu gangulonga, “Womlola yula yowamtubule.”
38 Hamba Yusufu, mwenyeng'hahye wa Alimataya nakamlanda Pilato yamkundile kuhola lukuli lwa Yesu. Yusufu nayali mlanguswa yumwe wa Yesu ila kwa uviso kwa vila nakawadumba wakulu wa Wayahudi. Pilato nakamkundila yahole. Ahyo Yusufu nakaluta kuhola lukuli lwa Yesu.
39 Nikodemo, ayula nayalutile kwa Yesu nechilo, nakaluta hamwe na Yusufu yaholile mhanzanyo wa manemane na udi kilo makumi gadatu.
40 Ahyo wauhola lukuli lwa Yesu na kaubumbiliza kwa sanda inojile ng'hatu hamwe na mafuta ga kunhunyhilila na udi, kota vyowazowele Wayahudi howomtila munhu.
41 Honhu aho howamuwambile Yesu kwali kamgunda, na muli kamgunda ako kwali na chilaga chinyale, hachinawichigwa ne lukuli mgati mwake.
